TESOL Trainers is offering its popular Summer SIOP Institute remotely. This three-day workshop provides educators with a clear understanding of the SIOP framework, a set of highly engaging model lessons,  practical TESOL techniques, and tips that encourage excellence in teaching and in learning.

SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) is a K12 framework that can support educators in planning, teaching, and reflecting on their lessons.  It was originally designed to help educators support English learners though the creators discovered the positive impact it had on all learners. Participants who attend this remote training session walk away being able to implement SIOP strategies and techniques that set all students up for success.
